Alright so it's not just me. I was wondering where the heck my Thanos was, but I ordered from a local shop and have historically waited longer to get product.

Is it just me or does the head look big on this version? Maybe it's the angle of the shots. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Hmm, I can still cancel my IW pre-order and eat a 10% loss. Do I want to wait another year though? Tough to say.

This is badass. I think I'll sell the IW version and get this one instead.

Too rich for my blood, but holy heck what a stunning figure.

I think I understand the pricing. I'm not sure if this is his main source of income, but judging from the skill on display I wouldn't be surprised if this is a side-gig to his actual profession. Given the time commitment to produce this level of quality, AND to paint it well after the fact, I...

Head alone w/LED is basically the cost of a SS figure. Without it, I think it's $185 or something. Unless I misinterpreted the cost breakdown on his page, it's $515 USD for the premium parts (i.e. painted arm, gun, and LED eye). Definitely aimed at the hardcore audience.

Good combo, the Jin headsculpt is far better imo. Ouch at the price, but I understand.

Like I said, I'll be patient. I'm not judging those who want this, it's totally understandable. I just want Yondu-tier likeness, and am willing to wait for it. If it never happens, I'm perfectly fine with that; these things cost a lot of money! :)

Likeness is off imo. Good work in general, but I'll just be patient and hope they get this licensing stuff sorted for DP3 / X-Force.

You are free to share your concerns, but others are free to point out where they're flawed. The Star Wars comparison is a poor one because it's a situation where many of the actors have passed on or are senior citizens; the franchise needs fresh faces so they can continue to capitalize on the...

That Toys Era headsculpt looks amazing. How long is the typical wait from pre-order to shipping for TE stuff? With the Disney thing, I'm positive we get Hot Toys Cable eventually. Just gotta be patient. And LOL @ the notion of a re-cast, why would they mess with a winning formula?

It's incredibly well detailed and has good likeness, but I'm going to be Joe Picky Pants and say something looks off, especially from the side; I feel like it's the mostly the eyes, but in the third picture his nose and chin look like they could use a bit of adjusting. Spectacular modeling...

Re: 1/6 Hot Toys – MMS - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Yondu Collectible Figure Waiting to receive mine. Such an excellent job on Rooker's likeness and the jacket. Made a judgment call and ordered this over IW Thor.

Good to know. Thanks for your contributions, especially re: the licensing stuff - very informative. I still hope they do it, but it's not the end of the world if they don't. :pray:
